looking for a Book for Learning Proc Report, Proc Tabulate and ODS

Looking for suggestions for a good book to use for a reference and learning Proc Report/Proc Tabluate and ODS. Preferrable looking for something that I can use to help new team members become familiar with these tools in SAs.

Speaking of which, @Cynthia_sas, when I was at SGF I saw the book on display and said to the pubs folks "I love this book, do you know if there is any hope of a second edition?" And they said "That's a great idea. You should ask the authors." So, any hope?

Hi, Ha! That book was the second edition. Lauren wrote the first edition by herself. As for a 3rd edition, I don't know -- except for new screen shots, ODS PowerPoint and ODS Excel and a few other things, the basic information in that book is still good. It's something to consider.

A couple of years ago, I took on a contract where I was going to have to format a report in excruciating detail, having had little experience doing this previously. I bought Art Carpenter's "Carpenter's Complete Guide to the SAS REPORT Procedure", and I thought it was absolutely wonderful. Hugely assisted me on my project.
